Well I finally found Sibir! Actually it was easy to locate. The problem was I confused Sibir with Serbia.

How could you confuse Sibir with Serbia?? Sibir is way cooler than EU Serbia

Must be a certain pro Sibir player waving a Brenton flag.

Agh just you wait until I get a Breton AAR going. THEN you'll see...












What you'll see, I don't know, but you'll see...

And not mention geografical distance. But serbia is fun to play.

Yes Venice is one of my favourites. It should really be a major not a minor.

In the board game, Venice is a major power for the first ~70 years (after that the player switches to the Netherlands), same as Portugal (who switches to Russia). All of which makes for some Macchiavellian choices vis a vis Turkey and the Mameluks.

On the other hand, Poland is a minor throughout.

I'm playing a EU2 MP game as Venice atm. It is easy to get bb points, but the nations around you clober you

Anyway 150 years later, I have 50% inflation, Croatia, Alexandria (which set off a bunch(ie 10 wars) of wars that I'm still trying to get out of 10 years later )

I like Venice more in EU1 than EU2 I think...

It's the perfect game for a rules-lawyer to play, and the worst one to play with one. But if you can have a group that can handle rules issues in a friendly fashion as they come up (and they *will* come up), I think it has a great game system. One of the few board games that has it all: military, diplomacy, and economics.

oh yes, even tried starting a colonial empire...failed
Still, if you try as Mantua its slightly easier (that time I did EU2 though, so maybe due to that)

 

[saskganesh]

did the turk take you out?

 

[unmerged(7472)]

Yes...Shame too. *sigh*
Still, got my revenge as Denmark and Baden later
